Overview

There are lot of issues facing nations around the world today. One of the biggest issues is the current asylum crisis that is threatening Europe and other places around the world. In light of the recent attacks in Paris, many people do not want to let refugees from other countries in. However, there are many innocent people who are just trying to find a better life for their families. There are a lot of ethical issues to consider in this decision. Another huge issues that people in America are facing is the Black Lives Matter movement. There are many people who feel conflicted on both sides of this argument. George Soros has been outspoken on both of these issues. However, in a recent article on the Daily Beast, it was explained that he did not donate money to this campaign.

Black Lives Matter

The Black Lives Matter movement was born out of a supposed racial inequality in the United States. Over the long term, this has caused a lot of unrest in many different areas of the country. Many people feel as though this movement is just an excuse to protest and cause disarray in many areas. However, there are others who believes that this is a legitimate movement that has been brought on by people who are being oppressed. There are people on both sides of the argument who have good points. It will be interesting to see where the movement goes from here.

George Soros

George Soros has donated to many different charities during his time in business, mostly through his Open Society Foundations. After earning his fortune, he has been able to influence many people all over the world with his wealth. However, he recently came out and said that he did not donate money to the Black Lives Matter movement. This is important to say because many people were under the impression that he did in fact donate money to this cause. Over the long term, it will be interesting to see if the movement continues on or dies out. It is in need of money if it is going to continue to influence people all over the United States. At the end of the day, many people are waiting to see what happens in the Black Lives Matter movement before they make a decision on which side to support. George Soros will certainly have a say in whether or not his funds are used to further the cause.
